A Rimer of late in a Barbors shop, sate by for a trimming, to take his lot: Being minded with mirth untill his turne came, to drive away the time, he thus began. You barbarous Shavers that nimbly trim with Sissors & Rasor, and handling the Combe: Your rubbing, your brushing, your Ball, & Bason, displayes your fining of each one in fashion. You are no Pillers, but poulers i'th state, and still are shaving for what you can scrape: By excrementall Fees you purchase Pelfe, and wash from others; but keepe to your selfe. Your abusive Balles you clap in our eyes, making us wincke whilst you make up your prize With bobbing our Lips, & pullings by the Nose, and after to slap us i'th mouth with your Cloths. With your Liquor so hot, you often doe scald, & oft to your hands comes Crowns that are bald: The more that you clip them, the thinner they are, and tis for your profit they loose their Hayre. You frizzell, you currell your long Haire & Locks turns up their Moutchatos, snifled with Pox: Rub them with Musk-ball, & sprinkle Rose-water the snap of your Finger then followes after. Your pulling out Teeth, or stopping the hollow, your skill to cease paine, being but shallow, Making shew of a cure with a Masticke plaister, they from your chaire rising, a leg they scrape after Having thus passed their time in prating, the Chaire became empty, he his turne taking: To be trimmed, into what fashion or cut (quoth the Barbor) will it please you to be put:
Good friend (quoth hee) I would be knowne, for knowledge is my living, now let be showne: Thy cunning in shaving so of my Face, that a blush may not stayne it to my disgrace. For such company I come in that will try, if they can stayne it with Vermilian die: Or dash me out of countenance by action: wherefore put me in the most shameles fashion. Feare it not then good sir, (quoth the Barbor:) Boy give me hither a Ball that will larther, And pound those precious gums so dusty; poynting to small Coale in a Pan all rusty. The Boy straight about his businesse hies. Now sir, saies the Barbor, keepe close your eyes For this Ball will proove somewhat tart, and twill disquiet you much to feele them smart. Quickly Boy, bring my varnishing Ball. Heere sir, and gives him the Coales beaten small Which over his Face he dusteth full thicke, and rubs him with Sope, the better to sticke. Being about his busines: sir (quoth the Barbor,) this Ball doth well scowre, and ease my labor: And though here needes no drying with Cloaths, yet I must be familiar to pull you by the Nose. Having done his exployt, made a great smoake; and under the Chayre set; being ready to choake: The Rimer up rose, and foorth of doores flung, they snatching off the Clothes on him that hung. And being gon out bedawbed and smeared, the people shouted, Boyes on him stared: He wondring at their laughing, thought his favour was very pleasing, that mooved such laughter. And seeing the Smoake ceased, went backe againe, with troupes following at his heeles amaine: The dore was shut, but at the Window as Glasse was set of purpose to shew him his Face. Which hee perceiving, did sweare and rave, quo'th Barbor, you are trimd like a riming knave Your quality is awdacious and base: now you having got a Vizard for your Face. Where next you are trimde, be not too bold, with scalding, and scraping; now you are pould: Least they noch your noddle, & spoyle your riming: and so much good doe you with your trimming.
